Total Equipment Training – Vacuum Truck

Vacuum Truck

Vacuum Trucks are, by definition, vacuum tanks that are truck-mounted or vac-trailer-mounted coupled with a high velocity vacuum pump that hydraulically loads wet and dry material through vacuum hoses. Vacuum Trucks are used for the safe removal of hazardous or non-hazardous materials from a worksite. Total Equipment Training has a comprehensive training program available for your specific HAZMAT training needs. We can tailor our program for any non-hazardous transportation concerns you may have.

Standards and Regulations

OSHA Section 5 of Public Law 91-596, OSHA 29 USC 654 and 29 CFR 1910.120, as well as DOT CFR Parts 106-7, 171-180 and 390-397 are covered by our classroom instruction.

Total Equipment Training provides instruction, in compliance with OSHA guidelines, for the safe removal of hazardous and non-hazardous substances.
